Derek Boshier, graduate of the Royal College of Art ‚Äî along with Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, and Peter Phillips ‚Äî made paintings that would come to be identified with the emergent Pop Art movement in Britain, particularly with the Young Contemporaries exhibition at the RBA Galleries, London in 1961. His film Link, like his paintings, is a personal response to Pop; a circuitous collage of different sounds, objects and places, from the pyramids of ancient Egypt, to the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to the interiors of galleries and museums of modern art.
